At Expansion Joint Company, we specialise in the complete design, supply, and installation of expansion joint systems engineered for structural integrity across buildings, bridges, and industrial assets.

From seismic-rated joints for high-rises to waterproof systems for rooflines and bridges, we ensure every solution absorbs movement, prevents damage, and complies with safety and performance regulations.

Whether you’re working on a commercial build or infrastructure retrofit across the UK, we offer durable, tailored systems that protect your structure for the long term.

Why Are Expansion Joints Important In Structural Design?

Expansion joints are essential for accommodating movement and protecting structural components from damage. They absorb thermal expansion and contraction, which occurs naturally in large concrete or steel elements, while also allowing for movement from wind loads, vibration, and seismic activity.

By relieving internal stress, they prevent surface cracking, façade failure, and deterioration of finishes. Additionally, our joints help maintain watertight barriers, uphold fire compartmentalisation, and extend the lifespan of buildings and civil infrastructure.

What Types Of Expansion Joints Do You Offer?

We provide a broad selection of expansion joint systems designed for various structural and performance requirements, including:

• Floor and slab expansion joints – Ideal for retail, industrial, and warehouse environments requiring durable surface movement control.
• Wall and ceiling joints – Engineered for architectural integration and acoustic separation in interior spaces.
• Roof expansion joints – Fully weatherproofed systems that accommodate thermal and structural movement on rooftops.
• Seismic expansion joints – Designed for structures in seismic zones to absorb lateral movement and protect building integrity.
• Bridge and highway joints – Heavy-duty solutions built to handle vehicular loads and dynamic stresses in transport infrastructure.
• Fire-rated expansion joints – Certified systems that maintain fire compartmentation in floors, walls, and ceilings.
• Watertight expansion joints – Sealed systems for use in basements, parking decks, and water-sensitive environments.

How Much Do Expansion Joint Systems Cost?

Expansion joint systems cost between £50 and £300 per linear metre, depending on design, material, and application.

Key pricing factors include the type of joint (floor, wall, roof, bridge, or seismic), the material composition (e.g., neoprene, stainless steel, foam, hybrid rubber-metal), and whether the system is off-the-shelf or fully customised.

Site access, substrate condition, and installation complexity will also affect cost, especially for bridge decks or high-rise roofs.

What Materials And Systems Do You Use?

For expansion joint solutions we use neoprene compression seals, stainless steel and aluminium joint covers, EPDM and silicone waterproofing joints, and pre-compressed fire barriers.

For heavy infrastructure, we design and install modular bridge joints and large-movement assemblies tested for dynamic loads. All products are certified for safety, durability, and environmental conditions, ensuring maximum reliability in service.

What Is Your Installation And Inspection Process?

Our expansion joint installation process begins with a site survey and movement/load analysis, followed by joint specification and product selection. We can supply standard systems or custom-fabricated joints to meet specific tolerances and finishes.

Installation is carried out by trained technicians, with careful integration into flooring, walls, or bridge structures. After fitting, we perform detailed inspections and offer ongoing maintenance plans to preserve long-term functionality.

What Industries And Structures Do You Serve?

We supply expansion joint systems across a wide range of sectors and structural applications, including:

• Commercial buildings – Office complexes, retail centres, and mixed-use developments.
• Industrial facilities – Warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics hubs.
• Car parks – Multi-level parking structures requiring movement accommodation and durability.
• Transport infrastructure – Bridges, highways, tunnels, and airport facilities managed by transport authorities.
• Healthcare environments – Hospitals, clinics, and medical centres requiring hygienic and compliant systems.
• Educational institutions – Schools, colleges, and universities with diverse structural layouts.
• Public sector developments – Government buildings, civic centres, and infrastructure projects.
• Specialist structures – Projects with complex movement, acoustic, or fire compliance needs.

Do You Offer Expansion Joint Repair And Replacement?

Our expansion joint services provide resealing, replacement of damaged covers, and retrofitting with seismic- or fire-rated systems.

We also carry out scheduled maintenance inspections for infrastructure owners and facility managers, helping prevent leaks, deterioration, or safety hazards through early intervention and system renewal.
